当他走进来时,目光落在了福尔摩斯手中的那根手杖上,他兴奋地叫了一声,向它跑了过去。

As he entered his eyes fell upon the stick in Holmes's hand, and he ran towards it with an exclamation of joy.

「我真是太高兴了,」他说道,「我不确定是把它落在这里还是落在了航运办公室。

"I am so very glad," said he. "I was not sure whether I had left it here or in the Shipping Office.

「那根手杖我无论如何也不能失去。」

I would not lose that stick for the world."

「这是别人送的礼物,我看,」福尔摩斯说道。

"A presentation, I see," said Holmes.

「是的,先生。」

"Yes, sir."

「是查令十字医院送的吗?」

"From Charing Cross Hospital?"

「是那里的一两位朋友在我结婚时送的。」

"From one or two friends there on the occasion of my marriage."

「哎呀,哎呀,这可糟了!」福尔摩斯摇着头说道。

"Dear, dear, that's bad!" said Holmes, shaking his head.

莫蒂默医生透过眼镜眨了眨眼,显出轻微的惊讶神情。「为什么糟了?」

Dr. Mortimer blinked through his glasses in mild astonishment. "Why was it bad?"

「只是因为你打乱了我们的小小推断。你说你结婚了?」

"Only that you have disarranged our little deductions. Your marriage, you say?"

「是的,先生。我结了婚,于是离开了医院,也放弃了成为会诊医师的所有希望。我必须建立自己的家。」

"Yes, sir. I married, and so left the hospital, and with it all hopes of a consulting practice. It was necessary to make a home of my own."

「好了,好了,我们总体上也没有差得太远,」福尔摩斯说道,「那么现在,詹姆斯·莫蒂默医生——」

"Come, come, we are not so far wrong, after all," said Holmes. "And now, Dr. James Mortimer—"

「先生,是莫蒂默先生——一个谦卑的皇家外科医学院会员。」

"Mister, sir, Mister—a humble M.R.C.S."

「显然也是一个思维精确的人。」

"And a man of precise mind, evidently."

「是个涉猎科学的人,福尔摩斯先生,在那片未知的浩瀚海洋岸边捡拾贝壳的人。我想我现在是在和歇洛克·福尔摩斯先生说话,而不是——」

"A dabbler in science, Mr. Holmes, a picker up of shells on the shores of the great unknown ocean. I presume that it is Mr. Sherlock Holmes whom I am addressing and not—"

「不,这位是我的朋友华生医生。」

"No, this is my friend Dr. Watson."

「很高兴认识您,先生。我曾听到您的名字与您朋友的名字一同被提及。您让我非常感兴趣,福尔摩斯先生。」

"Glad to meet you, sir. I have heard your name mentioned in connection with that of your friend. You interest me very much, Mr. Holmes."
